Prelude To Spring

We love going to Butchart Gardens. Beautiful can't even begin to describe the gardens. Whenever we go there, we find ourselves talking about our lives and realizing how blessed we are as we watch our daughter look around excitedly. 

The Butchart Gardens is a more than a hundred-year-old garden in Victoria BC and designated as a National Historic Site in Canada, according to its website. 

I think it is open all year round, with just a few days closed in winter. We have been there spring, summer, winter, and fall; each season providing us a different and memorable experience. 

We went there again a week ago and visited their indoor garden. Dubbed as Prelude to Spring, it was still amazing. 

The indoor garden was exquisite. The sweet smell of flowers in the air made me want to breathe deeply every time. The sound of the water rushing from the mini waterfall made everything so tranquil as if one should be quiet. We were speaking in whispers, afraid to disturb anything. Watching the koi in the mini pond completed the tranquil scene.

I am unfamiliar with flower names. I didn't even attempt to identify even five of the flowers. All I can say is that the whole indoor garden was an experience in itself. 

We also went around the whole garden. Around this time though, most of the area showed signs of newly planted flowers and plants. There were few people at this time. As the website says, this is the time the outdoor garden sleeps. Still, walking around the garden and seeing how it is being prepared created the anticipation of another year of bloom and fragrance. 

I cant't wait to go back. 🌻🌹
